Default 6 Lug to 5 Lug??

Is there any way that you can change a First Gen Durango form 6 Lug to 5 Lug. If so then how.

Yes. Adapters. However, they usually suck, break, cause the wheels the stick out unnaturally far, etc. They are on eBay all the time.

just dont do it with adapters, if you feel you MUST do it, do it the right way (yes ALOT MORE EXPENSIVE) and either do a SAS to a SA w/ 5 lugs on it, or find/make a set of hubs with 5 lugs which will fit on our trucks, way too much chance of causing problems/breaking something with adapters (besides they have a bad habit of shearing at the worst possible times)

You can get rear axle's drilled, you can get the front hub redrilled, you can pay pay pay. Or you could live with it..

408, your lift matches your tires on the D fine. It is an un-lifted where the tires stick out and look silly. Yours is perfectly acceptable as is.

Speaking of looking silly, I was real apprehensive about posting photos of someone else's Durango as a posterboy of something not to do. Not my place, but what else to do? Let this guy go mess up his D too? Plus, that guy hates me so....!! Ouch!!!
